It works for me with the Find&Replace dialog, without the need of 
regular expressions. I enter ." in the Find field and ," in the Replace 
field.

Are you sure about the double quote? Perhaps you confuse the 
typographical double quote mark (U+201C, U+201D, U+201F) with the 
straight quotation mark (U+22) or even with a double prime (U+2033)?

Tipp: copy&past the string from the text into both fields. Then change 
the dot in the Replace field to a comma.

Kind regards,
Regina
